I like the blackness of jetblack's level screenshot. :P
Thanks for the uploads. Now they can't get lost on some dusty old hard drives and be found by some passer-bys the just stumbled over Trespasser.

Would you believe that was the brightest one I found? The other candidate was even darkest...

Oh, there are quite a lot more *currently* on a certain dusty old hard drive sitting on my desk... :wink: (but fortunately I copied the contents to a shiny new hard drive first!) :P

Well, a wgile ago I finished uploading some more:
Plus some others which aren't listed there.

Take a look at the Levels download section and let me know if there's any other one you remember which isn't there yet, I haven't looked through my old Pentium 4's HDD yet... that's where I have everything from before 2009.

Nice machf!
I see my "Remake of the Beach" is password protected :P I think I should repack it and reupload it as I don't see the point of having a password like that anymore.

Well, the password generator is still online, so no problem with it...

I've found more levels on my Pentium 4's HDD, unfortunately a couple ones (Purussaurus' purus34.rar and Draconisaurus' IJ_Skydiving_full.rar) were broken... either they didn't finish downloading properly back then, or they became corrupt when I copied them over the network and I didn't realize it until now... Oh, well, at least there are older versions of both of them.
And anyway, I see from the RAR directory that Drac's file only added the retail's wtd, swp and pid files... and I had already uploaded Purussaurus' file after getting it from somewhere else some weeks ago.

I guess this is going to be the last update I make, unless I find some other level lying around... (well, there *is* one whose name I can't remember, and the filenames aren't too helpful...)
...and some other stuff, like the first version of Beach: Reloaded, glitchhunter09's Pine Valley fixed and Pine Valley duplicate, and RexHunter99's Pine Forest, among others.

There are a few more but since they are unreleased (because they weren't finished), I first want to ask their authors if it's OK to share them with the public...

(Which reminds me of several betas of JPDS I have lying around...)

The only early version of JPDS I can think of being interesting for the public is back when it used to be one huge level and not split up. As far as I know JPDS never heavily changed any area after it was done.

I have TONS of earlier JPDS versions myself, around 100 of them. I might go through them at some point and release them.

Since you mention it, I'll say that I am planning to re-release JPDS this Summer, with SCN triggers in place where they were originally intended to be, as well as a finished version of a certain WiseOldTree easter egg in JPDS~streams...

And yeah, as Tatu mentioned, the only early version of JPDS of interest is probably the last beta before the level was split into smaller ones. Wouldn't mind that being online. There were also, IIRC, multiple versions of JPDS~testing released.. Can't say whether any were of interest but I do know some of the broken puzzles in the final release used to work.
